The revue, which is the work of Mr C. J. McCormack, Holyhead, and is divided into tnree tiom;-The Past, The Present and The F t. t Li rf- redolent with patriotic ditties, .and the soloists (their names did not appear on the pro- gramme) did ample justice to the mimic, except the syncopated variety, which is hardly suitable for children. One of the best items was the singing of "We mjwt ail fall in if we want to win." The boy to whom it was allotted sang with the right expression and clear enullciation. Another feature of the musical side was the duett "Battle Eve," rendered by a party of six s'irla with excellent voices. A very diminutive artiste, Dilys Hughes made a hit with two or three sortg!31 itieltidirig "Yott are my baby." Mention should -also be made of the dancing of the principal girl in the Scotch group.

P. Jon.c-3. Corporal Gow deepened the re-ptutation he had already made, ancl in response to an encore he gave The Dandy Fifth. MieM Eardley was the accompanist. In the course of a sdiort address on "Some of the phases of the war," the Rev. Father J. E. Quinn said there were two kinda of peace, one was a lastin.g peace, and the other a fix,1&3 peace which we must avoid. Some peoplo wanted peaoe because their oomforte were cur- tailed and their pockets wcte being tapped. The only people who would benefit by a hasty, inconclusive peaoe at the present juncture would be the Germans, who would have breathing time to profit by their mistakes and re-attaol- us. vVhat we wanted was a lasting peace which could only be secured by a declsi ve victory over the Germans. Re- ferring to the Zeppelin raids, Father Quinn declared, that that was not war; it was siniply murder, and in the sight of God was inex- cusable. He admitted that he did not liko Compulion-(hoor, hear)—because it told him that there were many young invn who wero not doing their duty (cheers). It should never have been necessary to bring in such a Bill. He did not want to hear anything about the conscicntious objector 1vceau.se we have never fought a more righteous war. If a maai did not want to light he should write hnhlf not want to fig down ad a coward. Fortunately Bangor had responded well to the call, and he had it on good authority there were not 50 eligible voung men in the city who had not attested. There were some peeainrists, but the morale of the men at the front wa, splendid, and only that morning he received a letbar from the front in which the writer said, "We are in a hot shop, but we have already whacked the beggars" (cheers). Let all look forward to tji-e dav, not far distant, when the sword shall be sfieathied, the gun silenced, and when our boys would return home ooverc-d with glory (cheers).

Tha Cnairman fiaici h-a had a surprise for the Board-tho Clerk (Mr R. B Evans) had written resigning his position. In his ietter the Clerk titatat that 1119 wished to retire at the end of next month, lio had held public appointmenta for oleue upon 47 years, and had been in tho Poor Law service for 42 years, while for the last 24 years he had been oierk to the Board. Ho thanked tho Guardians for ths. kindneos Elhown him. The Chairman paid, a high tribute to the work of the Cleric. He kair Morgan) had blen associated with the Board for ;¿2 years, and had been m the pubiic lifo of Noith vN- ales for 36 years, during which time he had come across a good nian-y officials, but never had he met a more caret ul, conscientious and thor- ough clerk as Mr Evana (hoax, hear). Inci- dontally, the Chairman pointed out that the clerkships of the Aethwy and Ogwell Rural District Councili held oy Mr Evans would also beoome vacant. Mr W. R. Jone6 (Beaumaris) proposed that in the present crisis, Mr Evans be asked to defer his resignation for tw-edvo months. Mr D. Wiluams, Llanlleohid, eeconded the motion, which was unanimously carried. At to subsequent stage of the meeting the Clerk stated that he had decided to accede to the requesic of the Board. RATE UNCHANGED. The Clerk, in prp&eutiu? the estimates for tho ?nauin.? haii-yoax, ettoo that £ 942 h?,od been cipent on the new infirmary above the estimate, and a rate of lOid, an increase of Id, would be necessary. The Chairman tnought the Board should en- croach upon part of their balance at the bank. It would not be wise to increase the rates just now. It was decidcd to appropriate part ot the bal- ance so as to enable tho Guardians to levy a rate of 9jd. A report was presented showing that only four of the parish had paid their calls. One Guardian of the parishes in the Union had paid their calls. One Guardian ex- plained that the collector in his parish was seriously ill, and another Guardian said that the collector in hh parish was on hi-s honeymoon (laughter). MILITARY HOSPITAL. A letter was received from the War Office sbat- ing that the return of the Military Hospital to the Guardians depended upon the completion of the new hospital at Kinmel Park, and there was no prospect of that taking place in the inunedi- ate future. ENLISTMENT OF OFFICIALS. A looter was read from Mr R. D. Evans, poor rate collector for Bangor, intimating that hia group was being called up in a month s time. Mr Joseph Davies,moved that the Board apply for an exemption for Mr Evans, who, he said, waa difficult to replaco. Mr Hugh O.veu (Cdll) seconded, and tho mo- tion was carried. Mr W. G. Roberts (Llanfairfechan): Is he pre- pared to ask for exemption? Mr Briercliffe: What is the use of appealing for a man v.ho might not want exemption? Mr R. J. EIlis. relieving officer for the Bethes- da district, also staled that his group was to oe called up. Mr JosejJh Davies said that in tae present crisis it was essential that every man who could be spared should be released for the Army. Rev. E. H. Griffith (Llangadwaladr): I never heard a member making aucii diametrically op- posed statements. In tho case of Mr Evans it is a question of collecting money which was too important to aliow him to go. In tho case of Mr Ellis it is a case of looking after the poor and sick, and Mr Davies thinks he can be spared. That comes from a Guardian from Bangor (laughter). Mr Joseph Davies: I am rarher surprised (laughter). There is a small clique here (laugh- ter). They make these statements at a time, when I cannot reply. It is not so difficult to fill the position of a relieving officer as that of a rate collector. These statements should not be made, especially by a clergyman. The Chairman said that Mr Ellis had previously ?pplied to join the Army. Mr W. G. Roberts remarked that Mr Evans had also shown the same desire by attesting. Mr Brierclitfe thought it was as essential to have a competent relieving officer as a com- petent collector. Mr Ellis was called into the- Board Room, and the Chairman asked him: Do you want to go? Mr Ellis: I think it is my duty to go (cheers). The Chairman: You do not want to be ex- empted from doing your duty? Mr Ellis: Oh, no I (hear, hear). The Chairman And you are quite right. If everybody was exempted the Germans would be here stepping upon U3. A discussion then occurred as to filling the vacancy temporarily, Mr D. Williams (Llanllechid) urging that the post should be advertised as the only fair way. It was, however, decided to offer the vacancy to Mr W. J. Parry, 'Raohub. who was a previous camudate, and who, it waa stated, is not eligible for the Army. If he declines the post, the Guardians for the Bethesda district were asked to meet to consider the matter.

THE COUNTY THEATRE. I "With Fire and Sword," the principal picture shown during the first half of the week, justified tho claim made for it—that it was crainmed with excitement. The scene is laid in Tangiers, where an American young lady is abducted by the Grand Vizier. She is eventually restored to her pa-rents by an a.stnte American journalist, who acoom- plialtes all sorts of impossible things. Quite a small army of Arabs were employed to produce the picture. Among other films were "The Club- man," impersonated by Billy Reeves, who is spoken of as tho successor of Charlie Chaplin; "Third Hand High," a two-part drama; "Black Sheep" (drama), "During Cherry Time" (comedy), and "Tha House of Silence." Last night, the programme embraced several line pictures, with Ihe Adventures of Charles Peace" as the star. In a realistic manner it shows the cunning of this notorious evil-doer. There was also shown the second episode of the serial, "The Broken Coin," and pretty souvenirs of the film were distributed among the gentlemen in the audience, the ladies having been the recipients of a brooch last week. Among other items were the dramas "The Stolen Idot," "The Invisible Hand," "The Fa IBe Shadow," "Where Destiny Guides," and the comedies "Pass it on," "Mickey's Pal," and" Fatty's Chance Acquaint- ance." The horrors of the "third degree" examination, as practised by the American police to extort a confession from a. suspected person, are portrayed in The Criminal Path," to be shown next Mon- day and the two following evenings, and for the rest of the week there will be the three-reel drama, The Ways of Men," which contains exciting 1 racing scenes.

THE PALACE. I The attractions of the Palace are, this week, numerous. On Monday, there was the exclusive 2400 feet picture, "The Child Killers." On Tues- day, a company of children from Ho!yhead gave day' revue, "Tipperaryfand," referred to else- where; whi!c on Wednesday, the chief picture was "Floating Mine." To-night, the star will be "Fatal Three," while to-morrow there will be "Fighting Blood." A fine array of dramas and humorous films have been secured for next week, the chief being: —Monday, Great God Fear," a 2000 feet ex- clusive; on Tuesday and Wednesday, Madam Satan" (3000 feet exclusive), and "20,000 German Prisoners" (a topical); Thursday and Friday, "Face in the Crowd" (2000 feet exclusive); while on Saturday there will be a particularly exciting film in the 6000 feet exclusive, "The Stain."

THE PICTUREDROME. films that interest have been shown this week, among them "The Smugglers of Bellvigni," on Monday; "The Lost Son," on Wednesday and last night; while to-night and to-morrow night A Child of the Sea" i3 the attraction. For those who seek amusement, there will be "Mabel, and Fatty's Married Life," and a Chaplin com- edy for the week-end. A very topical picture, showing the First Siege Company of the Itoyal Anglesey Royal Engin- eers ieaving for the front snoula prove a draw next Monday and the two following evenings when a further instalment of "The Million Dol- lar Mystery" will.also be shown. During the latter end of the week the serial, "LucllIe Love," will be projected, with "The Opal Ring" and I The Human Menaoe" (» two-part drMMj:,
